TRAVEL THE WORLD - FLORENCE, ITALY

This building, the Cappella dei Pazzi, photographed in Florence in 1994, is considered to be a gem of the Italian renaissance. It is a small domed chapel designed by Filippo Brunelleschi and built between 1442 and 1461. The dome and portico were completed in conformity with his plans after his death in 1448.
